SAFETY
How to prevent accidents.
No accident prevention programme is effective without the complete co-operation of the person directly responsible for operating the
machine.
Most of the accidents that may occur in a company, on the job or during transfers are caused by the non-observance of the fundamental
safety rules.
A careful and cautious user is the best guarantee against accidents and is more effective than any type of prevention programme.

The electric machine (operated only with
batteries) requires four 6V batteries.
Depending on the country where the machine
is sold three possibilities can occur:
1 - the battery is supplied with the machine
and it is set, complete with acid solution
2 - the battery is supplied with the machine
and it is set, but not complete with acid
solution
3 - the battery is not supplied.
The battery compartment is under the seat:
lift the compartment lid, toward the steering
wheel, and verify which one of the three
possibilities is applied to your machine.
If the batteries are installed open one of the
caps of every battery and check if they are
filled with electrolyte.
1 - If the battery is filled:
1a . Check the electrolyte level in every cell and
-if necessary- fill up with distilled water.
1b . Proceed with a battery recharge according
to the MAINTENANCE paragraph and to
the Battery User Manual.
WARNING: before stating the battery
recharge the battery connector must be
disconnected from the machine.
After the recharge plug the battery connector
to the machine.

2 - If the batteries are installed but not filled
with acid solution they must be filled with
a solution of sulphuric acid (density not
lower than 1.270 Kg when at 25°C)
according to the instructions specified
below and in the Battery User Manual.
BATTERY FILLING UP WITH ACID SOLUTION
Warning: the battery acid is corrosive; if it
comes in contact with the skin or eyes rinse
thoroughly with water and consult a
physician.
The batteries must be filled in a well
ventilated area.
Fill every battery cell with acid; the right level
is specified in the Battery User Manual.
After one hour fill up with acid, if necessary.
Let batteries rest for a further hour; then
proceed with a recharge according to the
instructions specified in the Battery User
Manual and in the MAINTENANCE paragraph.
During the recharge the battery caps must be
open.
WARNING: before starting the recharge the
battery connector must be disconnected from
the machine.
After the recharge close all the cell caps and
clean the top of the battery from any acid
remains.

56041475
Connect the battery connector to the
machine.
Close the lid of the battery compartment.
3 - If the machine is not equipped with
batteries they must be procured and
mounted. It is recommended to get the
assistance of qualified personnel to chose
and set the batteries.
The electrical cables supplied with the
machine can be used for the connection of the
four batteries.
WARNING: before starting the recharge the
battery connector must be disconnected from
the machine.
After having set the batteries climb onto the

USE (battery operated version)
Insert the ignition key into the panel and turn
it clockwise: the display will show all zeros and
after about three seconds the battery voltage
will appear.
Note : the temporary lighting of the side brush
indicators and the short sound from the
reverse speed acoustic indicator
correspond to a normal behaviour.
Wait not less than three seconds before
restarting the machine after switch Off.
Check the charge status of the batteries on
the display.
Note : the display has two functions: voltmeter
and hour meter. The voltmeter will
activate the block function during an
undervoltage; it will disable all the
machine activities - except for the drive
- when the battery voltage drops below
20 Volt (the display flashes): recharge
the battery as specified in the
Maintenance paragraph.
To access the hour meter function press
the button shown in the figure: the
display will show the number of
machine service hours. Press the button
again to display the number of machine
service minutes. Pressing the button
again or waiting ten seconds the value
on the display will return to the battery
voltage level.
USE OF THE WORKING PROGRAMS
It is possible to choose one of the two working
programs P1 and P2 , pressing the relevant
button:
P1 is the “light cleaning program” (for
internal environment, i.e. smooth floor,
moquette, small debris etc.)
P2 is the “hard cleaning program” (for
external environment, i.e. asphalt, uneven
floor, big debris etc.).
12

P1 P2
After having pressed the preferred button the
relevant light indicator will turn on, together
with the suction motor indicator.
The temporary activation of the main brush
and suction electrical motors will also occur;
(the relevant light indicators will flash).
Note: the working parameters of programs P1
and P2 are pre-set by the manufacturer
of the machine: if you want to change
the pre-set values call the customer
service personnel of your supplier.
Lower the side brush/es pressing the top of
the relevant lever and moving it forward,
Note: on the control panel the corresponding
light indicators will turn on.
To lift the side brush/es press the top of the
levers and move them backward.
Note: the side brush/es, the main brush and
the suction fan will start automatically
when the accelerator pedal will be
pressed (AUTO POWER-ON).
It is possible to adjust the side brush/es
turning speed by means of the dedicated
knob.

USE (battery operated version)
Select the forward speed by means of the
command lever.
Press the accelerator pedal to start the job.
Note: by releasing the accelerator pedal (or
setting the command lever to the
neutral position) the automatic switch
off of all functions will occur within 8
seconds (Auto Power Off); the light
indicators of the selected working
program and of the suction fan will
start flashing. The automatic restart of
all functions will automatically occur as
soon as the accelerator pedal will be
pushed again (Auto Power ON).
In order to enable the selection of a
different working program first disable
the previously selected one.
When it is necessary to sweep on a wet floor

button, in order to prevent the damage of the
paper panel filter with water.
In order to get an efficient cleaning function
the panel filter must always be clean.
Press the filter-shaker button, even if the
machine is working.
This operation must be repeated every 10 to
15 minutes, depending on the kind of rubbish
to be swept; before emptying the dirt
container and, in any case, at the end of the
work.
During the operation of the filter-shaker the
suction fan will continue to run (no automatic
stop will occur).
If you want to stop the suction fan during the
filter shaker operation - two possibilities exist:
1st- to stop the fan by pressing the dedicated
ON/OFF button.
2nd- to wait for the functions automatic
power off (after the release of the
accelerator pedal)
To restart the suction fan either press the ON/
OFF button or use the accelerator pedal.
As an alternative - in order to make easier the
operator’s job - the automatic filter sheaking
will occur, every five minutes.

To collect light and bulky waste materials lift
the front flap using the left pedal (do not
press the pedal down for a long time, not to
reduce the suction capability of the machine).
The machine get an automatic breaking
function when the accelerator pedal is
released; when necessary the service brake
can also be used (see the figure).
When driving reverse an intermittent acoustic
signal will be heared and all the functions will
remain enabled.
In the figure the functions of the command

1- forward speed
2- reverse speed
3- horn
4- front light On/Off.
The machine is equipped with an emergency
stop button; by pressing this button (red light
On) a sudden stop of the machine will occur
and all functions will turn Off.
To restart the machine turn the red button
clockwise (according to the arrow shown on
the button itself).
To restart the normal operation re-select one
of the two working programs P1 or P2.
